2:47 this is not true. Ucrania already have aim-120(about one year since first deployment), but hypersonic r-37m is better than any US missiles (include aim-260). Thats why f-16 will face the same problem against su-35 as mig 29 allready have Only f-35 may be can operate in this combat envirement. But su-35 have capability againts f-35 too, all su-35 have combined L+X radar, and r-37m have very powerfull radar against stealth, so.....

It's typical with you tube amateurs pretending to be professional news reporters. Ditto their often misleading, erroneous or exaggerated clickbait titles. Take with a pinch of salt. UK is providing pilot training but has officially ruled out sending Typhoons because they don't have enough of them to spare (148).

The MIG-29 is closer to the F16 being initially designed as a light weight fighter and later converted to other roles. The passive optical system on the Russia jets is not for BVR (beyond visual range) encounters but rather medium and close range.
@jeffbenton6183
@jeffbenton6183 Год назад
My understanding is that the IRST *is* for BVR, but specifically "medium range" BVR. It probably won't help for using a R-37M to hit a target 100 miles out, but it is just fine for targets only 50 miles away (which is no longer within visual range, if I'm not mistaken). I agree, though, that mentioning the passive systems alongside their longest-range missiles was a bit of a mistake (so my reply to you is just a nitpick). Long range Russian missles depend on Radar to be effective.

That's why an aircraft like the Dassault Rafale, was able to win against so many TVS (thrust vectoring system) equipped aircrafts.

As an experienced fighter pilot. Moving a pilot from flying a Russian jet to a US design is the wrong move. It is hard to forget the previous jet but training a younger pilot on F16s would be better. But it would take a new pilot longer than 2 years to be able to fly a combat aircraft better.

Sure, F16s are substantially more common and easier to repair, and the typhoon is superior in its weapons suite. However, the ease of maintenance and ability forgo an airfield makes a strong case for the Grippen. However, there's the issue of cost and scalability.

Apparantly the Swedish industry can not just step up the production in a sufficiently fast rate: it has to produce Gripens for the countries that ordered them. They can not just add 24 extra "in between", it doesn't work that way. But yes, given the Gripen's ability to use normal carroads in stead of runways the Russians probably will try to hit is an enormous plus. And it would enable the Ukrainians to see if the Gripen is really the "Mig Eater" or "Mig -killer the Swedes are promising in their salestalks and -videoclips... It is a very small plane however, that can't carry that much of weapons as an F 16. Plus maintenance... Not only would it mean the Swedes would have to send brand new planes, but also Swedish technicians for maintenance purposes, for ex. on Polish soil... Not very likely, is it... ?

That's a huge logistical footprint needed for spare parts and other needs. Surveillance aircraft, such as AWACS, are vital to coordinate attacks, warn of hostile planes, and gain situational awareness.

I think the Eurofighter would be great, but the UK would likely only give Ukraine their old Tranche 1 fighters which were limited in many areas and are not as multirole capable or capable of using the Meteor. But pound for pound, the Gripen is an excellent choice in cost, performance and features. But I have no idea which version they'd get. Imo for a country like Ukraine a fleet of good Gripens would be an excellent match. I haven't got a clue about the F-16, because it's potentially very old. So depending on the version they get, it could wildly vary in features and capability. So my realistic choice would be Gripen, because the Eurofighter could be more limiting and as I said, I don't know which F-16s. My unrealistic choice if the others weren't available would actually be a fleet of Block 3 JF-17s in cost and capability. Not as good as the Gripen, but cheap enough for a large fleet. F-16-like performance (maybe not quite there), but updated features such as AESA radar and off bore-sight missiles. It's also cheap to maintain and quite easy to update and modify software I believe.

That said, the Ukrainian pilots have shown what they can do with SU-27s and they're old. So they'd probably get on even with early versions of the Eurofighter.

Every manufacturing company have their own principles as to how to operate their planes. Considering ukraine, ALL OF THEIR PILOTS HAVE NEVER FLOWN A LOCKHEED MARTIN jet. They have different procedures, call-outs, design philosophy, etc. No matter how great an F16 is, under the hands of an inexperienced pilot, it will become disastrous. It will take time to train ukrainian pilots and wash them out of their MIG-29 mentality.

I don't know why people seem to think Ukraine does not have functional runways. It is not some sort of monumental feat to rebuild/repair a runway back into functioning order, even for something like an F-16. USAF has publicly available reports on how to go about assessing and subsequently repairing the damage on a runway, and some of the patchwork solutions can have them airworthy within 4 hours in the event of an emergency. And its not just the US and its insane logistics capability that can perform something like that. Syria had an airbase that was saturated with cruise missiles and they were able to takeoff within 24 hours. Hitting the infrastructure of an airbase like that is an effective strategy to momentarily handicap an opponents air force, and buy time for getting more friendly aircraft in the AO with limited contention from opposing air forces. Its not a permanent solution in crippling an air force. If a strategy this simple were that effective in completely negating the F-16s capabilities, it would not be the most popular fighter jet in the world.

Now we have had a lot of things said about their preparedness for the "special operation in Ukraine", their state of training, their state of corruption amongsts its top echelons, their state of equipment, their state of intelligence gathering etc etc etc... And rightly so, MOST of the questions posed in lay observation of the conflict may justify much of the opinions of the lay-analysts and watchers, and even be useful to those designing the narratives and those threading the messaging on western corporate media. But then, in those very same messaging we note significant shifts from the operational and tactical aspect of the analysis of the war, to messaging opinions about Wagner and its alleged mobilized convicts as news --- either way, one wonders of what significance, is the messaging on "ill-trained" conscripts, if the ground troops from the regular 5 armies are barely unutilized??? According to the western corporate messaging ---- the Ukraine is so far huffing and puffing it out against supported Wagner fighters, and they are barely doing any better than them, in that declared "meat-grinder" in the Donbas. . There are NO significant movement of troops within Russia from one military District to the West----read into that whatever you may, but Russia has a ready standby reserve of 2,000,000, question why they are starting early conscription then. So, it's easy to dismiss the kremlin on account of media driven messaging, but you just have to ask those questions, that don't seem to make sense, until you realize that BOTH SIDES ARE PLAYING THE WAITING GAME, this conflict is just taking form and shape as we speculate..

An F16 would not last two minutes against the SU-35.

Which is laughable given that when they put the F16 up against the F35 in the latest war games it was the F35 that was outclassed. On top of that the Russian air to air missiles outrange the Western missiles like the AIM. The fact is the West only has a few F22 raptors (about 120 still in service) that can take on the SU-35 and they are loathe to send them in to combat in case even one F22 gets shot down and the Russians get to have a look at it. This war is as good as over and Ukraine knows it has lost. Time to negotiate.

The maximum launch range of the R-37M, according to open data, is 300 km, the target engagement height is from 30 m to 25 km, the maximum missile flight speed is 6 speeds of sound, that is, in fact, the missile is hypersonic.

As an engineer, I would guess that the F16 differs from the MiG mainly in the multitude of automatic programs. But my experience of working with a computer and a smartphone suggests that programs can be mastered very quickly. To be more precise, launch already installed programs. This does not actually require education, but only a permanent mentor, a person nearby who knows how to operate. We are slaves to theory. Theory that we don't need slows down our learning. When I was taught to swim, I was not told about Archimedes' forces, but lie on the water and swim. If not the first time, then the second, third. When I was taught to ride a bicycle, I was not told about the centrifugal force, which compensates for the tilt of the body, and the handlebars to the right, tilt to the right - turn right, handlebars to the left, tilt to the left - turn to the left. I went to sambo: the coach showed and said two or three words, or even silently - that's the whole theory. If you use a reasonable, necessary amount of theory, then I believe that it will take no more than a month to retrain pilots.

You do realize that the F-16 is a platform that's been around since the late 1970s, and despite all the upgrades the airframe has gotten, losing a few in combat won't be the intelligence gold mine you think it would be for Russia. Same deal with the Gripen and the Typhoon, which first flew in the late 80s and early 90s respectively.

The year began and something is already making it better than the entire 2022. Amazons AVM23X came out and it's such a great thing no matter where you come from. Everyone can participate and it is making many things easier than they have been. For example I live in France and this is something no one else could do for me here, if I just keep sitting on my toes for the next 5 years I'd simply go broke, now I can change that.

3:34 ah, yes. Afraid of escalation. When russia levels entire Ukrainian cities it is not escalation, but when providing weapons for self defence apparently it is.

Brilliant observation. During a war you need your planes available. Glad I tuned in for that gem.

The lead developer of the Euro fighter is the UK, so it's quite wrong to use the EU flag to represent it.

The Russians have the advantage of a huge connected radar network in place at the battlefield which will see the F-16 minutes after take-off until an S-400 missile intrudes its rear.

I do not know much about radars and recon overall, but from what I have heard, the intel is on Ukraine side, as they get info from NATO radars and such (placed in other European countries), which may be further from the area of combat, but is very effective.

@@danielvlk140 The problem for Ukraine is, the radar systems of the West are not connected to equipment of Ukraine (I don't know about Himars though, Patriots are not yet there as far as I know, at least not in significant numbers). So these systems are not connected and these defense weapons work solely which complicates the effectiveness.

@@hape4 Complicates, yet not cancels the effect entirely. And as I have said, from what I read and watched videos on youtube, it seems that Ukrainians have better inteligence than Russians.

We need to get out of Ukraine and let them go on their own. We just spent 21 years and two wars that were a waste of human life and money. And now we're right back at it. How stupid are we, or very stupid

Even an older SU-27 is better than the F-16 Even a Ukrainian pilot who flew in both admitted it.

I guess you never bothered to look up actual combat records. That doesn’t surprise me. I agree no U.S. fighters for Ukraine. No US funding for fighters from anyone else. Time for European funding.
